Television Watch

TELEVISION WATCH no catastrophe it’s two thousand and thirteen everything survived faulty mayan chicken bones? or just a few days delay? i’m watching TV and the noisy times square crowd counting the seconds watching the huge ball descend 58 -9- and –midnight! the old year is gone it’s two thousand and thirteen so? how should i feel with the noise and confetti wasted by eighty-three years? i must shrug aware of horns and fireworks my cats running round then there is this sudden hush i yawn - stretch – snap the TV Seriously. This is just me. Y'all have a great New Year. Love, daver

Sounds pretty much like my home, too... The kids went out to celebrate with their friends... some where else... Hope your New Year turns out great for you.

Happy New Year, Daver! I missed the ball dropping this year, but I did see fireworks outside. No horns or confetti though. S'all Kiwi would have needed, she's terrified of fireworks. She'd think, "the sky is faling".:) I'd watched a few video clips of Persian cats, made me think of you and your merry crew! Keep well...best wishes, Love, Mikki

Daver, make room for me. I'm gonna take the remote from ya. And show you that confetti means you are still kicking another year for us. On the sofa or off the sofa. you never will waste a time for us here or there. I'm bringing over my pup... to help your catastrophic silly nerves, he does not like cats. love your poem*LUV~SKAT

Razzmatazz is my new black cat, Daver. She is so cute and she is not afraid of people, like my last two cats were. She likes to sit behind me on my computer chair! I wrote of her in my hello kitty poem. I hope your cat with the bad teeth is doing ok.

hahaha, I LOVE it, Daver. Ever the humorist with all those cats. I was not even watching anything about the news, but I had Razzmatuzz nearby me as I watched some pretty neat movies into the night.
